Jane Maclennan, Scotland TranServ’s assistant engineer said: “In order to reduce disruption as much as possible we will carry out this important resurfacing scheme overnight.

“This is a busy economic artery, connecting communities in East Renfrewshire and Ayrshire with Glasgow and the central belt.

“This short-term programme which has been scheduled in consultation with Police Scotland and local authorities, will deliver tangible, long-term benefits to the commuters and businesses who frequently use this route.”

The stretch of M77 affected will be monitored and closed when it is sufficiently quiet, with traffic diverted until 6am each morning.

Although diversions will be in place, drivers are encouraged to use alternative routes where possible.

The same week will see a stretch of the M8 closed in order to replace barriers.

The project is part of a £2.5m programme to replace 12km of M8 road barrier, and some 600m near Glasgow Airport is next on the agenda.

The latest work, costing £300,000, will focus on J26 Glasgow Airport, and begin at 8pm on Sunday (July 23).

Work will run Sunday to Thursday each week until the end of August, with closures in place 8pm until 6am.

Laura Gray, Scotland TranServ’s deputy planned maintenance manager, said: “We’ve worked alongside Glasgow Airport, Police Scotland and the local authorities to carefully schedule this project in order to reduce disruption to the travelling public.

“These barriers are at the end of their maintainable life and in need of replacement. In the spring, we completed the replacement of over 2 kilometres of barrier, which ran smoothly, finishing 3 weeks ahead of schedule.”

The closure will include two lanes of motorway eastbound and one westbound.

Traffic management will be installed once traffic calms and the number of cars is sufficiently low, lasting until 6am each morning.
